Tonight I went with Duane & Betty to a concert at the Sun Bowl. It was fantastic! This week's performance was by the Arizona Winds, a popular 65-member band under the direction of John Thrasher. They played traditional band music, pop, jazz, show tunes, and marches. They are fabulously talented musicians. It brought back fond memories of accompanying Mom to practice at UAF when she was in the Fairbanks Community Band.
The Sun Bowl is an outdoor amphitheatre with the lawn sculptured into steps. They provide weekly performances during the fall & spring seasons. Each week is a different group. Next week is a steel drum group, the following week is the US Navy Band (7 vocalists) singing all types of country music, Oct. 29 is Music and Dance of Scotland... it all sounds very interesting.
